Nathan Carter's love life seems to always be the headline and he has admitted that himself.

The Liverpool native previously dated his stunning fellow country music star Lisa McHugh and he has remained single ever since.

Now, he has opened up about their time together and their subsequent break-up back in 2015.

The couple, who announced their split in December 2015, first met as she shared the stage with Robert Mizzell in Donegal. After Nathan persisted in courting her, they eventually went on a date and it wasn't long before they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.

However, despite their similar interests and amazing good looks, they decided to call in quits by opting for friendship instead after six months together.

In his autobiography "Nathan Carter's Born for the Road: My Story so Far", he detailed the night they met for the first time: "I first met fellow country singer Lisa McHugh in the Milford Inn in Donegal , where she was singing on the same bill on Robert Mizzell.

"I recognized her from her recent appearance on Glór Tire, the TG4 singing talent show, I fancied her instantly.

"I met her again a short while later, at an awards ceremony at the Tullyglass Hotel in Ballymen, and eventually I asked her out on a date to the cinema in Letterkenny. We started to hang-out together, and soon we were enjoying a fun-filled romantic relationship."

While they both worked in similar circles, lived in Northern Ireland , had budding careers in country music and loved fast food, they parted ways after just six months together.

The fun-filled romantic relationship ended up with them being friends- plus they were quite young entering such a serious romance.

"In the end, though, around six months later, it was the same shared ambition that made us call it a day on any sort of romance deciding we were better off as friends after all," he explained in the book which is being serialised by the Sunday World.

Nathan continued: "We were bother very young, and neither of us was looking for anything serious, plus, my career was really taking off, and it allowed of less and less time to be spent with anyone outside of the band and for doing anything than being on the road.

"Lisa still remains one of my best friends, and we help each other out as much as possible. I still value her advice. She is very good at seeing the bigger picture, she is very strong-minded and has a very good ear when I need a friend, which I am very thankful for."
